This handbook contains simple, straightforward recommendations from Holland on the most environmentally attractive options for various residential building components. The information is based on European life-cycle assessment work, but the details are not included here, leaving more room for the product recommendations. Products are reviewed from two angles: new construction and renovation. The book also includes an overview of sustainable construction and a few case studies that demonstrate the use of recommended products.
